What about the possibility of secretly attacking them during the assessment?

Knowing that he will be held accountable after the truth is revealed, he still insists on attacking the new blood that the Quicksand Team needs to recruit?

It is ridiculous to expect the small leaders among the gangs to have a sense of the overall situation and to let bygones be bygones. They have their own special way of thinking.

Being a thief for a thousand days is already stressful enough, but being on guard against thieves for a thousand days is even more unbearable.

We must find a way to solve this problem once and for all...

It sounds simple, but the assessment is not easy to begin with, so how could one have the energy to harm Shibata?

Kashiwagi had a headache.

The conflict between the two sides had been irreconcilable since before the time travel, which directly cut off his idea of ​​keeping a low profile.

no way.

Shibata and his ilk had been bullying countless people among the peripheral minions for a long time, and had called those who kept to themselves as cowards, until they met Kashiwagi and his ilk who knew how to stick together.

They were tougher and undoubtedly gave Shibata and others a hard time.

The two sides also had several group fights, each of which was resolved by Kashiwagi using force.

Therefore, Shibata and others have always regarded them as a thorn in their side, causing trouble every few days.

Today is no exception.

Ultimately, the upper echelons’ laissez-faire, semi-corrupt governance approach is the root of the problem.

A group of illiterate people who have little intelligence and have never been to school rely on their shallow family background to act recklessly and do whatever they want.

In Huangtie Town, where legal constraints are weak and internal lynching is the norm, similar scenes are common.

The general environment has influenced Shibata's thinking. Ever since he tasted the sweetness of bullying others without paying a "price", all kinds of bad behaviors have rarely been restrained, and "flattering the superiors and bullying the inferiors" has become the basic logic in his mind.

Fortunately, Kashiwagi has a good physique.

The human body in the Pokémon world is very interesting. It can be so weak that one has to be bedridden all year round, or it can be strong enough to crush rocks with fists and break wood with legs, and can fight against many Pokémon with fighting attributes and even use their moves.

He is working hard in the latter direction and has now far surpassed his peers.

He was very pleased with his superior physical talent.

"The assessment begins! The first group of people who have gone down the cave come over for inspection. Those who are carrying jade should hand it over! If you are smelled by Dunjia, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

The examiner's roar and Dunjia's mooing came one after another.

Chapter 4 Cocodola

Cold, dark and dreary.

Even after being cleaned up by the Quicksand Team, the environment of the abandoned mine was still extremely worrying.

The top of his head was so broken that it seemed like it could collapse at any moment.

Fortunately, the space inside is quite spacious, and in order to allow the mining vehicles transporting ore to move flexibly, the space left is surprisingly large.

Kashiwagi couldn't help but admire the fact that although the Oure region was desolate, its technological level was extremely high.

Ten minutes have passed since we went down into the mine.

After someone entered the cave, he chose to dig out a jade stone from the outside. The ping-pong sound of the pickaxe hitting the rock wall made Baimu extremely uneasy. He quickly moved away from his colleagues. Soon, he heard terrible noises and screams.

This brave man's act of stepping on the mine has put an end to similar thoughts of many people.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't get lost."

Headlamps illuminated the surroundings. Brave colleagues walked in the front, whispering reminders from time to time.

In the silent darkness, the breathing of others can be clearly heard even through the masks, and the claustrophobic environment subtly increases their psychological pressure.

Most of the children in Pyrite Town have experience going down a mine, but the safety of a normal mine and an abandoned mine is completely different, not to mention the potential traps and ambushing Pokémon.

The assessment involves being attacked by Pokémon, which is as terrifying to the Orei people as being shot while playing an escape room in China.

Therefore, banding together for warmth became the current situation, and the Quicksand Team never prohibited teaming up to participate in assessments, so it was natural for them to gather together and move forward.

However, according to seniors who have participated in the mines, groups of people are more vulnerable to attack and targeting. Even if you are lucky enough to get what you want, there may be a situation where the spoils are not evenly divided and you may become enemies.

Kashiwagi didn't really want this to happen.

They didn't have much advantage against Shibata's gang to begin with, and if they started fighting among themselves, they would probably be bullied for the rest of their lives.

"There's a fork in the road ahead, be careful."

He warned his colleagues and looked around, "The ambushing Pokémon is probably right there... Don't be so nervous, relax and take a deep breath."

This group of people were either sweating profusely or breathing heavily, looking a little panicked, and were obviously extremely nervous.

After they finally calmed down, Kashiwagi said, "Don't linger at the fork in the road. Choose a direction quickly and I'll cover you."

"Eh?"

A group of people looked at him in surprise.

"No, hurry up, the token is limited. If someone takes it away, we will have no chance."

Kashiwagi walked to the end of the team, "Hurry."

A crisis that occurs when people are extremely tense will make them lose their rationality, and the desire to survive will force them to do some unwise things. If they are walking in front of the team and the team becomes chaotic, they will be doomed if they are held back by someone.

Even if the other party didn't mean it.

There’s a saying that goes: If you encounter a bear in the wild, you don’t need to run faster than the bear, just run faster than other people.

He had no intention of kicking someone when they were down, but he had to avoid being kicked when they were down.

"Kashiwagi..."

His colleagues had no idea what was in his mind. They all looked at him with emotion, then encouraged each other and slowly moved forward.

Kashiwagi took a deep breath and looked around vigilantly.

Carelessness can kill people.

The fear for his life constantly reminded him to stay calm, stay focused, and pay attention to every suspicious point.

Most of Team Quicksand's Pokémon are Ground and Rock-type, which are too suitable for underground mines. It would be unwise to engage in any fight with them here.

Step into the fork in the road.

The space became a little bigger again, and everyone suddenly tensed up. They looked around nervously to confirm whether it was safe and to be ready for warning at any time. The colleague walking in the front did not dare to hesitate and went straight to the mine on the left.

"and many more."

Kashiwagi, who was walking at the end, suddenly spoke.

Everyone's heart trembled, and cold sweat poured out from their foreheads and backs.

"What, what happened?" someone asked tremblingly.

"You said not to linger at the fork in the road!" someone said nervously.

Kashiwagi hissed, "Listen carefully, do you hear any rumbling sounds? The ground is shaking too!"

The group of people looked at each other, subconsciously holding their breath and listening.

Kashiwagi was also listening, and with his keen perception he soon realized that not only was the ground shaking, but the faint rumbling sound was also getting louder, as if something was approaching.

The source is - the hole in the middle!

He was startled and immediately ran to the left cave entrance while shouting, "Run! Something is coming! Quick!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge boulder as tall as a person suddenly appeared in the middle cave, coming from far away at an incredibly fast speed!

"Running that way?"

"left!"

"Which way is the left? Where is Kashiwagi!?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't just stand there!"

The other four people became panicked instantly. The swaying headlights made it dizzy and they couldn't see the dark road around them.

But to make matters worse, as the shaking intensified, rocks continued to fall from the top, threatening to collapse, and everything visible to the naked eye began to tremble.

Crisis, panic and shouting.

The terrifying surprise attack of a huge rolling stone.

Driven by all kinds of terrifying factors, Kashiwagi subconsciously ran a long distance.

Not only that, he also carefully observed his surroundings in his busy schedule to avoid touching traps and lurking Pokémon.

When I stopped and looked back to make sure it was safe, there was no one following me.

The huge rock that was probably a rumble stone in disguise was also nowhere to be seen.

"There are three paths in total. I chose the left one, right?"

Kashiwagi frowned and waited for a minute before realizing that he was really separated from his colleagues.

Turn back?

Impossible, the Rumble Stone might be waiting there.

"..."

He showed a look of regret. There were pros and cons to forming a team during the assessment. Although those colleagues did not perform well when they were panicked, who knew if they would lend a helping hand in times of crisis?

But if we are separated, let it be. There is no need to force it.

Kashiwagi calmed down his emotions.

It is easy to lose your sense of direction when walking in an underground mine, but fortunately, if you look carefully at the rock walls on both sides, you can see signposts that point the way. They are so simple and easy to understand that even a semi-illiterate person like him can understand them.

It took about ten minutes to walk.

He suddenly stopped and squatted, turned off the bright headlamp, and tried to shrink into the depression between the rocks to hide his body.

After waiting for half a minute, two ultrasonic larvae that looked like dragonflies buzzed past his head. The sound of their flapping wings made Kashiwamu's head ache again and again.

What made Kashiwagi tremble was that one of the claws was holding a young man covered in blood.
